This Build was created by >>> Desolacer#2339 <<< !
positive aspects:

- fast Bloodshard farming (~1200/h)
negative aspects:
- You have to get used to the Gameplay Speed of the Build
- 2 Sets required (Danetta’s + Natalya’s)
- Only efficient when playing on Torment 4 or lower
(depending on your Equipment)
- alot of Ingame-Effects ⇒ not recommended if you have a bad PC

Details on the Build:
This Build is NOT for efficient T6 or GR25+ farming!
We are currently playing this build Torment 3 & 4 on Seasonal Hardcore with an average clear time of 2-3 minutes per Rift.
The Build requires Danetta’s and Natalya’s Setbonus with Hatred Regeneration on your Weapons & Chest.
Because all of the Skills are Physical Damage and you will use a Physical Legendary Gem, you want to have some %Physical Damage on your gear (e.g. Bracers, Amulet, Stone of Jordan).
Spell-Explanation:
Action Bar Skills:
Rain of Vengeance (Dark Cloud):
- This is your Main-Damage source, you want to Spam this Skill everytime you can to have a high DPS-Output.
Fan of Knives (Assassin’s Knives):
- Fan of Knives is used to be your Burst-Damage for Elite-Packs to clear them faster, because you dont have to stop and cast something, it seemed to be a good Pick.
Vengeance (Seethe):
- This Skill is used to generate Hatred and do some extra Damage while you are Vaulting, nothing more to say.
Vault (Action Shot):
- Vault is your Movement-Spell you permanently use.
- You shoot 4 arrows to nearby enemies which are guaranteed Critical Hits so free Damage you pick up here.
Preparation (Punishment):
- Preparation is there to give you some Hatred back when you are running out of it.
- Nothing special but very usefull in some situations (e.g. no Empowered Shrine)
Companion (Wolf Companion):
- The Companion is a Damage-Boost you want to use everytime its up.
- 30% Damage for 10 seconds is nice to have.
Passive Skills:
Awareness:
- This Passive is recommended using in HC, because every now and you get into a bad spot where you want to have this up.
- A good Option for Softcore is the Passive Ballistics for extra Damage.
Tactical Advantage:
- Since you permanently Vault, this is a great Passive to give you some extra Movementspeed (60% for 2 seconds) ⇒ increases your Vaulting Speed.
Ambush:
- A great chunk of Damage that is very usefull against the Rift Guardian or Elites.
Archery:
- Here you pick up some Critical Hit Chance and Hatred Regeneration, since you have the Danetta’s Weapons.
Item-Explanation
Helm - Natalya’s Sight:
- required for the Natalya’s Set Bonus
- CritChance > Dexterity > Vitality
Shoulders - Homing Pads:
- Homing Pads are very usefull for Speedrifting, because you can Teleport back to Town and dont get interrupted.
- If you dont want to use them or you want to swap them on everytime you recall, a good Option is just a good pair of Shoulders with the Stats below.
- Dexterity > CDR > %Rain of Vengeance Damage > Vit / Allres / %Life
Amulett - Hellfire Amulet / Haunt of Vaxo / Flavor of Time:
- The best Amulet you can pick up is the Hellfire Amulet, because a 5th Passive Skill is awesome. (You can pick up the Ballistics Passive for extra Damage)
- Haunt of Vaxo is a good pick, because you are stunning on every Vault (Rattling Roll, Danetta’s Revenge).
- Flavor of Time is good aswell, because it has 5 Primary Affixes.
- CritChance > Socket > CritDamage > Dexterity / %Physical Damage
Cloak - Natalya’s Embrace:
- required for the Natalya’s Set Bonus
- 3 Sockets > Dexterity > Hatred Regeneration > %Rain of Vengeance / Vitality
Wrists - Nemesis Bracers:
- For Speedrifting this is the best Pickup, because you dont have the time to swap Nemesis Bracers on/off.
- CritChance > %Physical Damage > Dexterity > Vitality
Hands - Gloves of Warship:
» When you have 10 minutes Empowered Shrine it feels like a “Cheat” «
(Quote: Desolacer 2014)
- lower Cooldowns give you a higher DPS-Output
- CritChance > CritDamage > Dexterity > Cooldown Reduction > Vitality
Waist - Harrington Waistguard:
- Harrington is a HUGE Damage Buff that you get when using a clickable Object or opening a Chest.
- Dexterity > Allres / Vitality / Armor > %Life
Legs - Hexing Pants of Mr. Yan:
- You are permanently Vaulting / Moving so those Pants give you more Damage and increased Hatred Regeneration.
- 2 Sockets > Dexterity > Vitality > Allres / Amor
Feet - Natalya’s Bloody Footprints:
- required for the Natalya’s Set Bonus
- Dexterity > Movementspeed > Vit > Allres / Armor
Rings - Stone of Jordan / Ring of Royal Grandeur / Natalya’s Reflection:
- You want to have a Stone of Jordan for %Elite Damage and %Physical Damage (Dexterity > CritChance > Socket > CritDamage)
- If you have a good Natalya’s Reflection (Dexterity, CritChance, Socket, CritDamage/Average Damage) then use it.
- Otherwise you want to use the Ring of Royal Grandeur to have the 4-Piece-Natalya’s (Dexterity > CritChance > Socket)
Weapons - Danetta’s Revenge & Danetta’s Spite:
- The Damage you deal is depending from you Weapon used in the Mainhand, thats why you want to have the Weapon with higher Average Damage (not DPS) in your Main-Hand.
- Main-Hand: High Average-Damage > Dexterity > Socket > Hatred Regeneration
- (Example for a good >>> Mainhand <<<)
- The Offhand-Weapon is irrelevant for the Damage you deal, thats why you can reroll the Bonus Average-Damage to e.g. %Elite Damage (IMPORTANT: This can cost you alot of Gold!)
- Dexterity > Socket > Hatred Regeneration > %Elite Damage
(Example for a good >>> Offhand <<<)
Gem’s on Gear:
- You want to put 3 Dexterity Gems in your Cloak and 2 Dexterity Gems in your Pants, because it will give you 280*5 = 1400 Dexterity (with Flawless Royal Emeralds)
⇒ more Damage and some Armor.
- You also want to put a Diamond Gem in your Helmet, to get some extra Cooldown Reduction. Another Option would be the Topaz to get some Magic Find.
Legendary Gem’s (required for Torment):
#1 - Pain Enhancer:
- This Gem will Give you an insane Damage Buff for the build, because it also scales with Physical Damage and proccs from Rain of Vengeance. Try to level up the gem as high as possible.
#2 - Gem of Efficacious Toxin:
- The Poison Gem will deal alot of your Damage aswell and also Buff your overall Damage by 10%. Try to get this atleast to Rank 25 for the 10% Damage Buff.
#3 - Bane of the Powerful:
- This Gem is great because you kill alot of Elites (~2k Elitekills/h), so you have a permanent Uptime of the Buff. - 15% Elite Damage on Rank 25 is another Damage-Boost you want to have.
Paragon Point Priority:
- Core: Cap Movementspeed (at 25%) > Maximum Hatred > Dexterity
- Offense: CritChance > Cooldown Reduction > CritDamage
- Defense: Allres > Armor > %Life > Life Regeneration
- Utility: Resource Cost Reduction > Area Damage > Life per Hit
Gameplay-Strategy:
- The Rotation of your Spells is basically holding down the Vault-Button and pressing Shift+Rain of Vengeance / Fan of Knives to cast it.
- When you are facing Elites or the Rift Guardian you want to use the Companion for the Damage Buff.
- When you are close to run out of Hatred you want to use Preparation / Vengeance.
- Good Timing of your Skills will come with playing the Build yourself.
FAQ:
Q: Why are you playing this Build?
A: The Build is alot of Fun and feels very Rewarding, because you will get alot of Legendarys when Speedrifting.
Q: Why are you not playing M6 Build?
A: The Marauders-6 Set got boring to play.
Q: Do I have to care about Thoughness?
A: Actually, No. You are permanently Vaulting which makes you very flexible and you can react fast to Elite-Affixes. Sometimes you get in a bad spot, but therefore we have the Passive Awareness.
Q: Why are you not playing Torment 6 or GR25+? A: This Build is only for Speedrifting up to Torment 4, because Monsters take to long to kill above and its just not efficient enough anymore.

Thread created by Desolacer#2339 & k1ckd0wN#2959
Regarding the Toxin gem, I think the Zei's Stone of Vengeance would probably be a better choice - Since the gameplay is about casting Rain and then vaulting away. The damage boost should be much higher (unless you're vaulting very close to where your rain is), plus the passive has a 20% chance to stun enemies you hit. Stunned enemies = higher survivability especially for HC. Perhaps with Zei's stone, you could possibly push past T4 to T5 or T6?
